2. Adhere paper to block.
3. Paint edges with white acrylic paint.
4. Print out five 2” x 21/2” photos of friends and adhere one to each side of the large square.
5. Add name of each person with rub ons to the side with their photo along with a small embellishment.
6. On the small block, journal about the person who’s photo is on the corresponding side of the large block.

Brilliant! What a great read. That was a good post - informative but not too heavy. Thanks for taking the time out to write it! I think spirituality is really important too, we certainly agree on that point. A leader without spirituality is missing a key element.
